Trend Micro to Release Deep Security 7 Soon

Trend Micro plans to introduce a new version of Deep Security so that organizations can protect physical, virtual servers from malware. According to Trend Micro, cyber criminals that create malware these days are increasingly sophisticated and the nature of the threats are very stealth-driven. Intrusions are now being created with a mindset to reap profits and not just to create problems.

Since data centers are moving towards server consolidation by adopting virtualization technologies, the virtual machines also need to be secured. Offsite or outsourced cloud-infrastructure also involves storing corporate data outside of the business premises. Security risks in such environments are now a growing concern.

Deep Security 7 takes advantage of the VMsafe API, which allows third-party applications to interact with functions made available through the virtualization management software. Interaction with the hypervisor removes the need to provide separate security for each virtual machine instance.

While many believe CIO's role is evolving and that he's occupying a key place in the boardroom, a recent study brings to light that more than half of the CIO, CTO or IT admin staff (55%) are not thanked by colleagues for carrying out essential IT tasks on their behalf.
